About BoaPhilePlastics

Since 2000

Boaphile Plastics began with the first thermo-formed fully glued and chemically sealed lightweight black PVC cages in 2000. Since then nearly all innovations seen in the reptile cage industry can find their roots in our original designs.

Resourceful ideas reaching new heights!

Our founder and owner, Jeff Ronne Sr.-The Boaphile, was that hyperactive child with a vivid imagination that was evident from the start. Jeff is the Reptile keeper who figured out how to breed Boas in captivity without knowing if that was even possible.  From his early years, his adventurous curiosity drove him to learn all he could about animals in general and Reptiles in particular. The fact that it was not known did not discourage Jeff but only served as the reason for him to figure it out.

How it all began

His first captive breeding success was at the age of ten, in this very tank producing the commonly kept cichlid, Convicts.

These Boas, Big Momma and Big Daddy, formed the foundation of many of the Boa Constrictors bred in captivity today.

This is where Jeff conjures up his often crazy and varied Boa Constrictor puppies enjoyed by the masses. Jeff is a believer in giving his Boas a view from cages that are rock solid. Plus, the keeper can tell at a glance what is happening without touching a thing.
